Just a note on this: I use alsactl regularly to modify my alsa sound settings when I switch to headphones for voip calls. So I have a script like this: ----------------------------------- #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/alsactl -f /home/me/voip/my_preferred_voip_alsa restore 0 ..... ----------------------------------- However "my_preferred_voip_alsa" has to be regenerated quite often - maybe after a couple of months. A diff on before and after reveals minor changes. I am not quite sure why, perhaps as alsa is updated. But this change/failure is silent, so this results in mysterious failures. Now I aware of this, I simple regenerate the file and all is well again. The point of this note is to save others time in diagnosing such alsa problems. ael _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
